And because I know them off the top of my head, here are my last five games at Fenway:

September 22, 2003 - After a 1918 reading at the Kenmore Square Barnes & Noble, it's off to watch the Red Sox beat the Orioles 7-5. (The really fun game was the next night.)

May 8, 2004 - Curt Schilling pitches a complete game over the Royals and Pokey Reese hits two home runs, one of them an inside-the-parker. Red Sox 9-1.

July 20, 2005 - Laura and I celebrate the 20th anniversary of the day we met by watching the Red Sox score six runs in the first and cruise to a 9-4 victory over the Devil Rays on a perfect summer afternoon.

July 28, 2009 - JoSapalooza I! Jonathan Papelbon cannot hold a three-run lead in the ninth and the Red Sox lose 9-8 to the A's in 11 innings.

July 29, 2009 - We return the following evening to see Brad Penny give up five runs to the A's in the top of the first. The Red Sox chip away, but lose 8-6.

I'm not so greedy as to demand two victories, but I do expect one win.

July 20, 2005 - Laura and I celebrate the 20th anniversary of the day we met by watching the Red Sox score six runs in the first and cruise to a 9-4 victory over the Devil Rays on a perfect summer afternoon.

My first time in Fenway as a Sox fan.

This doesn't quite do justice to the pain. Didn't we have a 6-run lead at one point?
